User Reviews

The add-on is praised for easy installation and the ability to pin windows on top, including PWA/web-app windows, and is seen as simple to use. However, reliability is a frequent issue, with many reports of it not working or working only in limited scenarios. The stay-on-top behavior is inconsistent across sites and windows, and it can conflict with other applications. Some users warn about security concerns due to being redirected to external download sites. Overall, it’s a hit-or-miss tool rather than a dependable solution.

Most of the negative reviews that I've read are completely wrong. This extension does what it says on the package. Simple and easy to use. Hence the 5 stars.

Works well IF you don't have the other application open before you turn it on. To work around that, close the other application, then reopen it. Then ffx will stay on top of that one.

Ich liebe dieses Add-On und möchte es nicht mehr missen! Es funktioniert ohne Probleme und man kann (so wie ich) sogar die PWA-Web-App Fenster anheften. Danke vielmals an den Entwickler! 5 Sterne! <3

Is Always on Top Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Always on Top requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
